Cotto..just retire.

No fighter "owes" the fans anything, if they make silly fights its up to people not to buy them or whatever, and in any case it's still a fight. It's just funny that people will complain about reasonable match ups that they then stream or watch later or whatever. If Cotto vs Marquez really becomes a go, it's still a bit interesting I'd say. Sure Marquez is old and undersized, but they are both still extremely good boxers and proud men, I'd be interested to see how it goes.

It's a sad matchup though. Cotto would be fighting a massively inactive, super old, super bloated Marquez who looked old against Bradley. Cotto doesn't owe anybody anything, but he should at least fight an active fighter in his own weight class. Marquez will be 44 and inactive for 3 years if they were to fight and Marquez would likely be doing it at a silly weight. It's worse than these Canelo/Golovkin matchups by a long, long way.

You're probably right and it's a big question mark where Marquez would be at fighting again, but I think stylistically it's still a fight that could be very good. The fight would have been a real treat some years ago, that's for sure.
